the cowboy eagle game wasnt what i would call a close one though

It was close in the First Quarter when Dallas was only able to hold the ball for 12+ minutes.

You guys are ridiculous, saying the Jets had the game handed to them.

I don't think you actually watched. And don't go blaming Palmer for the pick he threw, that was all about Darelle Revis. The ball was thrown to the shoulder Ochocinco should have been able to get, but Revis, like the beast he is, still managed to get in the way. Watch the clip again.

Also, don't discount the value of a great defense. Forcing Palmer to throw high and down the middle isn't the Bengals screwing up, it's the defense doing the best job in the NFL.

I still think the Bengals were a great team, and I really enjoy Ochocinco's antics (maybe he's a kindred spirit), especially since they aren't mean-spirited, or attached to an attitude of entitlement or bitterness. I heard that Ochocinco bought a ticket for Fireman Ed (the famous Jets fan who always gets the crowd going in that "Jets" cheer) to attend the game last night. Could anyone here imagine Plaxico Burress or TO doing something similar? I can't. But I wish they would (that is, if Plaxico ever plays again).

Anyway, I do have my doubts about the Jets being able to get past the Colts, but I can't wait to watch, regardless.

I don't believe the game was close in the first quarter. When McNabb threw his first pass at the feet of the receiver, I pretty much knew the game was over. I texted my uncle midway through the first quarter, "Times yours." I think that about sums it up for me.

It will be interesting to see whether McNabb or Westbrook are back next year. I'm not sure at this point.

Anyway, go Vikings!

Bumbling, stumbling and fumbling... the Dangles absolutely blew it.

Wow! Can you believe it's 21-Ø in the First Quarter?
The New England Patriots are going for their 24th consecutive home win today
and Neoteny... Tom Brady should always make Wolverine fans proud.

McNabb still has a year on his contract and I expect to see him back next year
and was making a funny about the Cowboys total domination of the Giggles.

[Neoteny]

Brady's the only reason I follow New England. I'm rooting for Baltimore though; I've got a soft spot for the Ravens for some reason.

BECAUSE THE JETS DEFENSE IS SO AWESOME

[spurgistan]

Just as an aside, Ray Lewis shot people.

One and done. The Pats lose their first home playoff game in 30 years,
as the Ravens are impressive bowling them over.

Turnover Sunday continues in Phoenix...
Cards 17 Pack Ø
Two possessions, 3 plays and two turnovers for Green Bay in the First Quarter,
three possessions and three scores for Arizona.

Hehe

All you chumps who were berating the Cowboys at the beginning of the season. They're now dominating the Eagles while the Steelers didn't even get in.

Oh whatevaaaaa!

When we were living in Indiana you were the biggest Colts fan in the world. Nevermind the fact that they had arrived in the middle of the night from Baltimore. Now you've gotten yourself stationed in Dallas and after 5 years your a Cowboys fan? Do you not remember the Barry Switzer era when you were berating Michael Irvin & all the other thugs from the 90s bandwagon?

Soooooo, if you get moved over to Cleveland am I going to see you in the "Dog Pound", claiming that Pittsburgh is now your bitter rival?!!! I know it's difficult sticking with one team when you get moved all over the country by your company, but try to stick with one team through good and bad.

All in all, the Cowboys deserve congrats on dominating the Eagles for 2 straight weeks. (and I hope you get stuck with the Dallas to Philly route at work now lol)

You guys are ridiculous, saying the Jets had the game handed to them.

Agreed, but the Bengals never got their head back into football after the loss of Chris Henry. Rex Ryan has his team totally focused on winning, and they definitely had Cincy's number. They are peaking at the right time. Ryan has instilled the right kind of winning attitude for N.Y. That being said, it will be a totally different kind of game against San Diego, which also has that winning mentality...along with the talent to handle the Jets. I expect the Chargers to win next week. It should be a good game as the Jets will scrap.

Just as an aside, Ray Lewis shot people.

Yeah, and now Lewis and the rest of Cell Block B are headed up to Indy. I hope Manning picks them apart.

I won money on that Pats game.

Cards miss a FG attempt and the Pack wins the coin toss.

Arizona 51 Green Bay 45 Final-OT
Unfuckingreal... a second half of little to no defense and a blitz, sack, fumble and TOUCHDOWN!

[the.killing.44]

Lmao, that was an hilarious ending.

[oVo]

A great finish... to see Kurt Warner's near perfect day end in a loss would have sucked.

[slowreactor]

ugh... what a horrible finish...

I blame Palmer and Graham.. Those missed field goals were ridiculous.. and that int wasn't the reason I was blaming Palmer.. he had like a 50% completion % for the game, he started off way over throwing his receivers and it didn't get better as the game went on. The only reason they maintained somewhat in the game was cause of Benson.

I'm serious. My cat could've made that field goal.

Did Shane Graham take a plane overnight to Phoenix and suit up?

If there is anyone I feel more sorry for it's our own CCer Karel. Can you imagine the emotional roller coaster he went through. First you go down 17-0. At this point you almost figure it isn't your day. Then the Pack get a score here a score there and at half-time it might still happen at 24-10. Cards then go up 31-10 and the beer is starting to run out. Then the Pack score a TD and recovers an onside kick. Karel starts hoping. Bang, another Packer Td and their down 31-24. Karel is cursing that he is out of beer at this point. The Cards strike again and Karel wish's he has a dog to kick about now or a deer to shoot with his bow. Packers strike again with a 30 yard pass and they are within a TD. Karel's emotional roller coaster continues. The Pack come back all the way and tie it. About at this moment I am thinking of Karel's emotional well being. But once again Warner leads the Cards to another TD with 4:55 left in the game. How much more can Karel endure? Then comes the 8 play drive that ties it again. Karel is screaming about now. But Warner drives the Cards down to the 15 for a chip shot FG to win the game. Karel is going to the prayer beads about now for a miss. When Rackers did miss I was wondering whether Karel was screaming like a Banshee or exhausted on the floor. Coin toss and the Pack get the ball. Karel is probably breathing a little easier about now until Rodgers misses an over the middle pass around the 50. I figure about now the weed is probably depleted too. Then comes the irony, a TD on a defensive play to end the Packs hopes. Please Karel, if you are still alive respond.

That was one helluva roller coaster ride, only to win the toss and lose the game.
On a positive note, Green Bay knows for sure they have another franchise QB.

Yes they have.. rubs the salt even further that the 9ers picked Alex Smith over him...
